These three little Goren are cute - and annoying! At first anyway, until you reveal their secrets. Rockbiter has identity issues and likes to think he's an Elemental with his Nature's Ward ability - but this was their downfall, as Snarly is just a wicked contender against any Elemental.

If you're lucky, you might be able to get off two Howl - the last one on Acidtooth then your Blighthawk can just sweep up the mess.

Comment by ilostmahbucket

Did not seem entirely reliable to be able to do this every time, but two times I was able to 2 man with Mojo (any frog) Cleansing Rain + Frog Kiss spam and Fossilized Hatchling Bone Bite spam. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Comment by Flapperjacks

This guy along with Stonechewer and Acidtooth are a battle at the challenge post in your Garrisons Menagerie and an objective of the daily Pet Battle Quest from Lio the Lioness.

Starting out with the Mirror Strider I took on Rockbiter using just Pump repeatedly, until Rockbiter was defeated. I then started out using Healing Wave, followed by using Pump twice (once to load, then to damage) on Acidtooth, you may also be able to get a shot from Water Jet off before this pet dies, which I was able to do on my first attempt, but not on my second attempt.

Any of the strider aquatics (Aqua, Eternal, or Mirror) should work on Rockbiter, as the key here is to combat Nature's Ward, which changes him into an elemental.

There are several pets that you can substitute where I used the Gusting Grimoire. Any undead that has abilities that are strong against humanoids can probably be used, but stay away from pets that have "weak" abilities as they will be mitigated by Acidtooth's Spiny Carapace ability.

Comment by hootstwo

Start with the Crab, drop a Whirlpool, follow with a Surge, then a Healing Wave. Use Whirlpool and Healing Wave on cooldown. Takes down first pet easy as pie. Do as much damage to next pet (which is very little), when dead, bring in Spider.

Put on a siphon life, then death grip. Use Bone Bite on final pet to kill it, quite easily. Spider will nearly takeout third pet, Ghostly Skull should have no problem whatsoever finishing the job.

Comment by EarthToMe001

I didn't have a leveled strider, but I did have some beefy undead and a recently leveled Viscidus Globule with a lot of Aquatic dots so I tried this:

Start with the ooze and keep all dots up. I managed to get Rockbiter to die underground this way. Then I left the ooze to apply a few dots if possible to the next one (Stonechewer?)

Next up is Stitched Pup with plagued blood, howl, diseased bite, diseased bite. Should do it, but if not, use diseased bite and save the howl CD for the last one because chances are, the pup is on borrowed time at this point.

If you managed to get a howl off, the Shadeling's plagued blood seemed to be the best first move (after a few failed trials with different aquatic first pets). It dealt a fair amount of damage while giving it a little buffer against Acidtooth's dots and reactionary damage. At this point, it's your choice whether to use death coil for a small amount of healing or shadow shock for the chance of a bigger burst. Whatever the feel of your battle tells you.

Good luck!

Comment by seamusmc

I went with Pandaren Water Spirit, Stitched Pup and Ghostly Skull. Still looking for better combo from pets I have but it works.

Water SpiritGeyser Whirlpool

Swap to Stitched PupHowlRockbiter dead

Stonechewer is upBiteBite

Swap to Water SpiritGeyserWhirlpoolWater Spirit dies

Swap back to Stitched PupDiesRezHowlStitched Pup dies

Stonechewer dies or is a tap away from death

Swap to Ghostly Skull and finish Stonechewer off with Siphon Life if necessary

Tactic: Keep Whirlpool up 100% and hit with Surge when Rockbiter transforms to elemental form, pop Healing Wave every time it's off CD. Use Lil' Ragnaros as the burrow-attack's damage soaker.

Stonechewer is next, switch to Restless Shadeling.

Turn 4: Plagued BloodTurn 5: Death CoilTurn 6: If Stonechewer burrows, do not switch, the Restless Shadeling won't take much damage from the burrow attack.

Tactic: Between Plagued Blood and Death Coil, Stonechewer should die. Restless Shadeling will die, rez, Shadow Shock for the final deathrattle, then permanently die. Finish off with Emperor Crab's Surge.

Acidtooth is next, keep Emperor Crab out.

Turn 7: WhirlpoolTurn 8: If Emperor Crab is faster than Acidtooth, use Healing Wave. If Emperor Crab is slower, use Surge. Emperor Crab will die if slower. Otherwise, use the extra turn gained from the heal to cast a final Whirlpool.Turn 9: Lil' Ragnaros will come out. Cast Flamethrower.Turn 10: Conflagrate.

Acidtooth should die at this point. If not, use a Sulfuras Smash to finish it off.

Good luck!

Comment by Kalscension

Here's my own strategy considering I didnt have pets that others listed. It uses:

As soon as Stonechewer comes out Healing Wave and then Pump, Pump. My Strider died after the Pump actually hit him. If yours is 25 it may survive. If it survives Water Jet him as you will probably die afterwards. Once he does die...

Hope this helps. Ill update it once I try with all of them at 25 or someone else can.

Comment by Byanca

This is a strategy for people who do NOT have an Unborn Valkyr.

I updated this post with a better strategy after fighting him again.

I didn't have many of the leveled pets mentioned in comments above so beat these guys with -

Eternal Strider - Active Abilities: Water Jet, Cleansing Wave, Pump

Pandaren Water Spirit - Active Abilities: Water Jet, Whirlpool, Dive

Dancing Water Skimmer - Active Abilities: Water Jet, Healing Wave (Cleansing Wave may be a better choice here for future but I don't think it matters by this point), Pump

I start off with Pump Pump so I can get a big hit in before he goes underground. While he's under I made use of my turn by doing Cleansing Wave for the buff to Aquatic Abilities.

Edit #1: I once beat this with Golden Civet Kitten - Active Abilities: Gnaw, Screech, Dive instead of Pandaren Water Spirit, but it must be very RNG heavy, because I tried again with that later and it didn't work.

Edit #2: I beat him again using the Eternal Strider and Pandaren Water Spirit as the first two pets and Macabre Marionette as the third pet - Active Abilities: Bone Bite, Siphon Life, Bone Barrage

Good Luck!

Comment by tweetifun

This worked for me most of the time. It's not perfect but it is a strat that means you don't have to have an Unborn Valkyr, which I have not yet been able to capture.

Comment by Guldbullen

Hi,Im not a pro pet battler but I found out that I can beat this team with only 2 pets and have a lvl1 pet to level at the same time.

This is my setup:1. Fossilized Hatchling2. Magical Crawdad3. Any lvl1 or other pet u want to level.

Start with Fossilized Hatchling and cast Bonestorme (this spell will by time kill the 2 pets in background and you never need to battle them.)Swap to Magical Crawdad and cast Wish, then just cast Renewing Mist until Rockbiter has no stacks of Nature's Ward.Now swap back in Fossilized Hatchling and cast Bonestorme again.

And back to rotaion again. By doing this bonestorm will kill the pets in background and you can keep Magical Crawdad at ful hp all time. it can help in one round when your Fossilized Hatchling is in cast Ancient Blessing insted of Bonestorm. This will couse your active pet to get more hp, so Wish will heal for more.

In one rotation swap in your lvl1 pet insted for one round, just use the ability you have then swap him out, the thing is that if you time this right he wont get hurt due to Rockbiter is underground.

When both pets in background are dead, just kill Rockbiter. First just use Fossilized Hatchling as mutch as you can untill he is dead, then kill him of with Magical Crawdad.

Ps: If you dont have this pets I guess any self healing and a pet with aoe spel will work.My lv1 pet got to lvl12 in 2 battles, adn you can do this all day long.

Comment by VicarChromaggus

This fight can be done extremely easy with 2 very common battle pets, hoewever it does take about 10 minutes.

Start the fight with Golden Dawnfeather.Take out the other two pets with Sunlight whenever it goes of cooldown.Use filler abilities like Quils or Peck (or Pass Turn, since he heals too hard), while keeping yourself up with Love Potion.

When both background pets are dead, switch to Leopard Tree Frog.With the contineous use of Frog Kiss take out Rockbiter (and while Sunlight is still active you can heal hard in between with Healing Wave).

Normally it does bonus damage against elementals, but he will just be Humanoid if he notices you use anti-elemental abilities.

My aim here is to develop solid strats so as to utilise and benefit from the massive XP gains these fights offer, whilst carrying pets as low level as possible. If you have an improvement suggestion for this or any of my other strats please leave a comment, keeping in mind I won't be making strats for single-boss fights due to the lack of bonus XP.

Comment by BikerGirl69

I didn't have a lot of the pets that folks use commonly, so I used what I had. I used a Dancing Water Skimmer, Alpine Foxling Kit, and the Rapana Whelk.

The Water Skimmer lived through the first pet and part way through the second pet using Pump and healing. The Foxling using howl, then dazzling dance, bite, bite, howl, etc. The whelk used shell shield, absorb, dive, then absorb and shield until dead.

Comment by Cloudwatcher

So I started this fight with a team consisting of Mojo, a Blighthawk, and a Zandalari Kneebiter. With Mojo in the first slot I started things off by casting Cleansing Rain, to up the damage of my Frog Kiss, and proceeded to destroy the entire team with the power of FROG.

I was quite surprised with my luck in transforming these little guys into frogs. I made sure to keep Cleansing Rain up the entire fight and spent the rest of the fight just spamming Frog Kiss. Had my Mojo died in the fight I had planned to sub in my Blighthawk using the typical moves of Infected Claw and Ghostly Bite. With his death the idea was to let my Kneebiter finish off whatever pet was left with Black Claw and Hunting Party. Still think this would have worked but it was nice to see things go so well for my little frog.

Comment by Krenshar

The back line goren in this fight are irritating to kill: one has a shield that blocks 254 damage from each attack, while the other has a shield that damages your pet on each attack and a dot. Rockbiter, on the other hand, is irritatingly good at self-healing but otherwise not terribly dangerous. This strat kills the back line pets with cleave abilities, then kills Rockbiter with a strong single-target pet - in this case the excellent S/S Flayer Youngling.

You will need:

Terrible Turnip (221)Lil' XT (222)S/S Flayer Youngling (121)

The Pocket Reaver (222) may be a good substitute if you don't have Lil' XT. I don't have one yet so I wasn't able to test, but substituting Supercharge -> Quake for Heartbroken -> Tympanic Tantrum should have a similar effect. You can substitute any flayer youngling for the S/S, but I recommend one with 264 or better speed, just to finish Stonechewer off before he can do anything.

Rockbiter's script is simple. He refreshes Nature's Ward if it falls off, burrows if available, and bites otherwise. In practice this means he performs the same six turns repeatedly, unless interrupted: Ward -> Burrow (2 rounds) -> Bite (x3).

From here the fight is simple. If Rockbiter is submerged, hit Deflection to avoid Burrow damage. Otherwise, Kick on cooldown and use Blitz. When Rockbiter dies, Stonechewer comes out with around 140 health; one Blitz should kill him before he can do anything.

Comment by Sluggzo

You can simply spam Pump with the Eternal Strider, which will kill Rockbiter quickly enough. You also have the option of spamming Water Jet after your third Pump, which allows one big Pump bomb when Stonechewer enters, before he casts Shell Armor.

From there, just keep Pumping until your Eternal Strider dies (Shell Armor will block most of Water Jet), and bring in your Alpine Foxling (or any Beast with the Howl/Bite moveset, really). Howl followed by 2 or 3 Bites should finish off Stonechewer.

When Acidtooth enters, your Alpine Foxling should still be able to get off a final Howl and Bite. From there, it should be easy mop-up duty for your Ghostly Skull to finish off the fight with Shadow Slash and Ghostly Bite.

Hope this helps!

Comment by Jenelope

A frog with Frog's Kiss is a great starter for this fight. Just keep kissing, and with a bit of luck, you'll manage to totally undermine Rockbiter's healing. If you manage to turn Rockbiter into a frog, he'll switch out with the second pet, at which point, just keep kissing to do the mess with him casting his shield.

Have healing wave as the frog's secondary, and if you need health, find a free moment when either the Gorens are swapping or one stays a frog for a turn to use it and heal up.

Eventually, the frog will die, but you should be able to take out Rockbiter, and whittle the second Goren down considerably. My second pet was the Zandalari Anklerender, and I set on it with Leap and then the third Goren dies pretty easily.

Comment by Ruthenia

I did this with Pandaren Water Spirit, Chrominius and Baby Blizzard Bear

Start with Pandaren Water spirit's Geyser > Whirlpool.Switch to Chrominius and Howl

Rockbiter Dies.

Switch to Baby Blizzard Bear and and Hibernate. after Hibernate is over, Maul and bite until Stonechewer is dead.

Switch back to Pandaren Water Spirit and repeat opening move.Geyser > Whirlpool.Switch to Chrominius and HowlAcidtooth Dies.

FROG! :D -I think it's best if your frog is faster than the ones you're fighting!-I guess you can use 2 frogs instead of 2 "water-dancers"!I had great success with Eternal Strider, Spirebound Crab (325power) and a Jungle Darter..-try out to see what fits you the best :)

I started the fight with1 x Eternal Strider > Cleansing Rain, Water Jet and then Pump for the rest(the first pet in the fight take dmg as elemental)!1 x Dancing Water Skimmer > Cleansing Rain + Pump (2. pet in the fight need high dmg against it due to a shield'ish)!1 x Jungle Darter (any frog should be fine) > Healing Rain + Frog Kiss

Started with 'Healing Rain' and used 'Pump'.Did this with both the "water-dancers" until they were both dead.

Then the magic of the lil' frog happened.Spam 'Frog Kiss' and use 'Healing Rain' when needed.My frog ate the pets I was against!

Acidtooth should be out by now, Anubisath Idol goes Sandstorm to reduce all his little damage, then spam Rupture and Crush

Open with Creepy CrateBonestorm, Curse of Doom, Swap to Fossilized Hatchling.Bonestorm, Ancient Blessing, Swap to Creepy Crate.Bonestorm, Curse of Doom, Swap to Fossilized Hatchling.Ancient Blessing, Bonestorm, Bite if dead and risen in undeath, otherwise swap to Creepy Crate.Bonestorm, Curse of Doom, Swap to Fossilized Hatchling if alive to Bonestorm and Bite until dead, otherwise pass, Curse of Agony, Bonestorm.At this point both back pets will be dead and only Rockbiter will remain, who makes himself take damage as if Elemental. Anything with good Aquatic attacks can finish him, like Pandaren Water Spirit.

Of all of these Strategy guides on how to either do the boss in general or 2-man the boss this is the best way I've come up with and I give credit to Listian for the idea. I only had one time in 20 fights that this didn't go exactly to plan due to a crit from Stonechewer's last attack killing my Stitched Pup prematurely.

Pandaren Water Spirit - 1/2/2Stitched Pup - 1/2/* (the third ability is irrelevent, take Plagued Blood if you feel like it)Leveling pet with ~ 500HP, unless it's a Critter.

Comment by jordovishte

Guys i will provide you my 100% working 2-pet leveling guide against this combo.

Comment by saedo

Emperor CrabStart with Shell Shield as Rockbiter uses Burrow, then Healing Wave. Afterwards, do Surge, remember it'll always go first, so watch Nature's Ward, as long as the buff is there, do Surge, if he's not Burrowed. If Burrowed, or Nature's Ward is down, that's when you hit Healing Wave or Shell Shield. But if health drops low, do a heal regardless. Repeat until Rockbiter is dead.

For Stonechewer, just start off with Shell Shield and Healing Wave. This burns a couple of turns on his Shell Armor and gets you back up to relatively high HP. Switch to Unborn Val'kyr.

Unborn Val'kyrJust spam Shadow Strike until Stonechewer dies, actually should die together on the same round, back to Emperor Crab.

Comment by Grimnarl

This combo worked for me. Took a couple attempts, but it worked 2 out of the 4 times I used it.

HB Mirror StriderCleansing RainWater JetPumpPump

Use Pump again if needed.

HB Dancing Water Skimmer.PumpPumpWater JetWater Jet

By this time both of those pets have died.

Chrominius.HowlSurge of Power

Have tested this several times. Sometimes it'll fail two or three times in a row, then the fourth time wins it. It all depends on if the Mirror Strider and Skimmer get crits or strong hits in.

Comment by Strit112

After trying a few different boosting tactics here, I found that most either didn't support a level 1 pet or they took very long. So I made my own tactic, although with some inspiration from other tactics. So far I've had 100% success rate, it seems that more or less any RNG (crits) will not alter the outcome of this tactic.

Round1: Attack with level pet. Opponent uses Nature's Ward, so no damage taken, ever.R2: Swap to Emperor Crab. Opponent uses Burrow, so no damage taken, ever.R3: Emperor Crab (P/P) only has 211 speed and will get hit by Burrow, only for roughly 350 damage non-crit, so use shell shield to make the next hits weaker.R4: HealR5: SurgeFrom here on out with Rockbiter, use Surge when you can hit it with Nature's Ward up to deal more damage (Aqua vs Elemental). Refresh shield when it refreshes Nature's Ward. It's priority of spells seems to be Nature's Ward > Burrow > Bite, so it's rather easy to predict what's happening. Heal up the turn after he burrows so you get back health and dont' waste an attack while underground. Surge always hits first, remember?

OK, so Rockbiter's dead and it's round 18. Stonechewer comes out. Stonechewer always starts using Shell Armor which basically means taking next to no damage, while his humanoid racial heals him up.

Use the two first turns putting up shell shield and healing yourself, then swap to Unborn Val'kyr. Just spam your number 1 ability. I use Shadow Shock, the other is ought to work as well.

Both should die together and then it's up to you wether you want to use Unholy Ascension or Curse of Doom. I think CoD does a bit more overall damage, but I'm not a numbercruncher, so don't count on it. :) (EDIT: After having tried both a few times, it seems like the battle ends faster with CoD instead of UA, so apply that dot and spare that time!) Use either and put out Emperor Crab again when UV dies.

Keep Shell Shield up to negate Spiny Carapache and the dot from Acid Touch. Heal on CD and surge away. Pretty straight forward.

When Stonechewer comes out, refresh your Perk Up so your 2nd and 3rd pet will benefit from it. and then you'll have only enough moves to use Pump twice. Note that because of Stonechewer's Shell Armor your offensive abilities in slot 1 are effectively useless, since he heals all the damage you can inflict with them. Once your first pet is down, in comes the Unborn Val'kyr. Spam Shadow Shock until Stonechewer dies.

Comment by Greentwinkies

Weebomination, Jungle Darter (or other frog), 3rd pet, doesn't matter much if he can survive and do about 400 damage.

I have found a pretty good strat for these guys. Weebomination to start with. He will do practically no damage to the first guy, but will own the back line pets using cleave. Spam cleave, then when he is on his undead round use corpse explosion. Maybe continue with cleave, to finish off the back line pets. Bring out Jungle Darter, or another frog, and "kiss" rock biter good bye. Worked well enough I could bring a higher level aquatic pet to level the last few levels.

Comment by Likolani

If you have one of the Zandalari dinos that is fairly high level (~20+), you can win this fight with them and level them to 25 pretty fast in a few fights. I used a level 21 Footslasher, but probably the others would also work. Using this lineup the fight is fairly quick and straightforward, without a lot of tricky timing and swaps. Only a few unfortunately-timed enemy crits can derail it (as is the case with most boss pet battles), and I have found that to be rare.

I have also gotten this to work with, in place of the Footslasher, a level 21 Lil' Bling (2, 2, 1): Extra Plating > Make It Rain > Inflation > Make It Rain (if 25, otherwise only if you won't die this round) > (Swap to Stitched Pup before death)

Note: XP sucks now, forget about the leveling part. But you can still win the fight with these pets.

Comment by Grietina

Soloed with Mac Frog (randomly chosen from my herd of Frogs) kissing all three to death and still being at almost 600HP when winning. Spammed Kiss only with healing up if/when neccessary and available.

Just cast BONESTORM every time it is off cooldown. It doesn't do as much to Rockbiter, but it is really hurting the two back pets. Use Ancient Blessing when Rockbiter burrows and Bone Bite when you can hit him. The heal isn't terribly important.

If for some reason Rockbiter also takes out your crate through terrible luck, your 3rd pet should clean up quickly. Congratulations, you have beaten all 3 with only Rockbiter in play!

Comment by Shadeslove

I didn't have the pets that most people used, so I devised my own team.

Rockbiter against Eternal Strider til Rockbiter was dead. Stonechewer against Eternal Strider til strider was dead. In steps Undead Val'kyr til Stonechewer is dead. Val'kry stays in long enough to apply Siphon Life and Haunt. Silkbead Snail comes in to finish off Acidtooth with Shell Shield and Dive.

All pets were Rare and LvL 25.

Reason I went with this team is because Rockbiter uses Nature's Ward so he become Elemental.The other 2 stay in Humanoid, so using a Beast and Undead again them works well.

Comment by MoDiFiEdLoRd

Comment by atryl

Hilariously easy tactic:

Rockbiter will be the first you deal with. Get Weebomination, spam cleave until the 2 in the back dies (Rockbiter will be busy healing himself and going underground, but even if the cleave misses him, it hits the pets behind), then your little abo will die. The two other pets should be kissingfrogs (since Rockbiter transforms himself into an elemental).

Refresh renewing mist & shell shield when there is only 1 left on either buff; otherwise surge.

NOTE: When Stonechewer has the Shell Armor buff don’t bother to try and damage it; instead, just cast renewing mist & shell shield on yourself until his buff is gone then hit him with Surge. Both will probably die together.

Acidtooth vs Twilight Spider

1. Brittle Webbing2. Leech Life3. Poison Spit4. Leech Life

Acidtooth should be dead but if its not then just repeat spell cast 1-4.

NOTE: I suppose you could effectively use the water spirit + two P/P spiders and have similar results but I’ve not tried that yet.

Comment by cheesyburger

This strat works 100% of the time and it's a 1 pet strat! All you need is a level 25 hydraling from spires of arak. Use moves 1 2 11) Use deep bite x22) Once Rockbiter dives, use shell armor3) Use deep bite until he dies4) When stonechewer comes out, use deep bite 5)When he casts shell armor, you cast it too6) Spam deep bite until he's dead7)Use deep bite as a filler on acidtooth, using shell armor when it's up8) This strat worked for me 30 times in a row, so I'm sure it will work for you!*helpful note - if the enemy is below 25% hp, use swallow you whole instead of deep biteHPs are as follows: rockbiter 451, stonechewer 370, acidtooth 390hope this helped!

Comment by shakthe

I used 3 frogs and I usually never make to the third one. Spam Frog Kiss with Healing wave on cooldown and 1st Frog usually kills all 3, sometimes only 2, but second frog finished them off.

Comment by Lestalody

I managed to solo this whole team with just Horny Toad with Muckbreath and Unborn Val'kyr as backup. Given how easy the pet is to obtain it might be useful to you if you are still growing your team.

Comment by lyta

I used dancing strider with the pump pump pump pump then geyser, then continued until dead with second near death, finished last two with footslasher's hunting party and bloodfang. I have 7 more fights to go we'll see if RNG is on my side or theirs. Second alt I used dancing strider with slithershock elver and got all three with footslasher in the wings.

Spam Shadow Shock and use Curse of Doom when it is available until Acidtooth is defeated.

Stonechewer comes back.

Spam Shadow Shock.

If your Sister of Temptation dies, use Scourged Whelpling and cast Shadowflame a couple of times.

This method worked perfectly for me several times. In one case, I wasn't lucky enough to crit Shadow Shock enough to kill the three goren fast enough, which only resulted in have to cast Scourged Whelpling's Shadowflame twice to finish Stonechewer off.

VS Rockbiter:1) Open with Call Lightning; this happens before he turns Elemental and will eat full damage.2) Deep Bite, Rockbiter uses Dive.3) Shell Armor4-6) Deep Bite, at the end of Round 6, Rockbiter loses Nature's Ward7) Call Lightning, again Rockbiter eats full damage8) Deep Bite; Rockbiter is most likely dead here, if not, Deep Bite again on Round 9.

VS Stonechewer (note the while Stone's Shell Armor is up, you won't get the secondary damage from Call Lightning; that's fine):

Comment by Serverisera

Strider i used pump then cleansing rain then pump till the enemy was dead

My strider had like 300 hp so i just used couple of water jet's and my strider was dead.

I switched to my croaker and used Croak to start off with and then just spammed Frog kiss. I had semi good RNG so i got the first one as a frog and then they switched and i got the other one as frog aswell and just kept spamming frogkiss and finally won. I had Fossilied hatchling as a backup but didnt need to pull him out even once. So try using frog kiss since it's damage stacks and does alot of damage :D

Comment by doobiedoo

Very simple fight using 2 Striders (Eternal/Mirror) with Water Jet/Healing Wave/Pump. Had a crab as back up but was not needed!

Comment by Angelhearth

Want some fun?

With these 3 pets you can change the tactics any which way you choose, you're more or less guaranteed to win, and when doing it on 10+ characters it can get a bit boring doing the same moves over and over again. :)

Comment by DAMNIDIOTO

anyone telling you to use a strider first and just use pump...is full of crap, do not even bother trying that, you will die fast.

Comment by Zhav

Perhaps I was particularly blessed by the RNG gods, three times in a row, but I soloed this whole fight with my Biletoad using only Frog Kiss and Healing Wave on cooldown. Three toons in a row, no dead pets, and it didn't take any longer than any other methods I've tried.

Comment by Kaiserin

Hello, just wanted to share my strategy. I tried several combinations of pets and finally won the battle with the following:

Started the battle off using Pump as most others have done until first was dead, managed to get the second little guy down to half health before my Strider bit the dust. I then used the Shadeling's Shadow Shock and Plagued Blood abilities to bring down the second.

He died at the first move of the third little rock guy, then the val'kyr came out. For her, I used Shadow Shock and Siphon life, ended with about 200ish health left for her.

Comment by Molleigh

I just wanted to note that if you do not have an Unborn Val'kyr, you can use a Lofty Libram instead: it has both the Shadow Shock and Curse of Doom abilities, and no particular weakness against the enemy pets in this battle.

Comment by excoriate

3 zandalari raptors are best for this if you have many alts. Fastest period.

Also Eternal Strider with Pump + 2 zandalaris is good.

Comment by Epyrian

You can also switch out a Lost of Lordaeron for the Unborn Val'kyr. They're very easy to find (just go to Undercity, above ground).

The rotation I used after my Eternal Strider dies was this:

1. Curse of Doom2. Siphon Life3. Shadow Slash

I spammed Shadow Slash until the guy died. And, I managed to also get the third pet to 1/2 health, too. During my Lost of Lordaeron's "dead" phase, I used Curse of Doom again on the 3rd pet and then the Rapana Welk had a super easy time killing 'em.

1 opponent. Best is def start with any aqua pet with Pump. Unfortunally I didn't had (power) stats so it always takes 5 turns instead 4. 2 opponent. Pass 2 turns and 2 shot with eather zandalari or undead with Curse of Doom.3 opponent. Zandalari always best option here.

Comment by Completegibberis

FROGS!

All of these elaborate strats......all you need are 2 frogs....and MOST OF THE TIME, just 1....

2 frogs, spam kiss, heal when it is up, not when you think you need it, when it is up.

Kiss,kiss,kiss...over and over.

Done this fight on 4 toons this morning and did all 3 beasties on all 4 encounters, without my Leopard Tree frog dying or having to swap to the next frog, but still, just 2 frogs...

I get people NEED to use those rare pets they spent 300 hours farming....but putting a dress on a pig, still means it is a pig :) We use the time honored line of logic used in ALL areas of technical fields...Keep it Simple Stupid- KISS

So, keep it simple for you guys that do not have the higher end pets or the oddball pets or whatever reason !

Did this with Mud Jumper, Bone Serpent and Infected Squirrel. The first two died during battle, but killed the last with no problem with the squirrel.

I know this seems unlikely, but soloed with the humble Garden Frog, my Frog Teams never disappoint!

In case anyone disputes, i did capture the fight, but site rules prohibit screenshots with UI visible so wasn't able to post.

The combo that works for me is Albino Chimaeraling, Infected Squirrel, and a high level pet of your choice. RNG can cause this to fail occassionally.

Albino Chimaeraling -- Roar for damage boost, Shadowflame until he dives, then Lift-off to avoid that attack. Takes about 3 Lift-offs before Rockbiter dies. Keep going until Stonechewer kills him. Try to make the last attack Roar to pass that damage boost.

Infected Squirrel does Rabid Strike, then Diseased Bite, refresh Rabid Stike as necessary. This will kill off Stonechewer, and in most cases almost kill Acidtooth.

The key to this strategy is keeping Rockbiter from going into Nature Ward. So long as Creepy Crate is faster than him he'll never have a chance to use it. This ensures he takes full damage from Bonestorm.

If your pets don't do enough damage before Stonechewer dies for Rockbiter to die in one Chomp you can use Death Grip instead and then Chomp them to death.

My Level 25 Unborn Val'kyr was ONE-SHOTTED to death by these pets. Don't count on it to succeed all the time.

Interesting strategy but still using 3 pets.I used the PWS but added an undead Stiched Pup due to better capabilities against humanoids.I had no need to use my Fossilized Hatchling and my PWS was still alive and kicking after withdrawing on second char.

Comment by zerolokamir

This fight is really easy using Weebomination(1/~/~) and Chrominius(1/1/2).Start with Weebomination, spam Cleave until he dies, and enemy backline pets should already be dead.Bring in Chrominius next, use Howl, Bite and Surge of Power, and Rockbiter dies.Note: if Rockbiter will cast Burrow within 3 rounds after you bring in Chrominius, wait until burrow is over, then use the combo to finish him off.

Not that leveling this way is super efficient anymore, but I found a way to utilize the Hydraling strat to boost a level 1 pet safely all the time.

R1: Do any ability with your low level pet. He uses Nature's Ward which makes him elemental type.R2: Swap to Hydraling (1, ?, 1) - Rockbiter uses burrow.R3: Hydraling is faster, so use Shell Armor.R4: and onwards; keep using deep bite until your Hydraling dies, have any decent pet with undead attack ready to kill off the last pet.

I've done this 10 times now and Hydraling is always able to finish off the first two and sometiems get one attack in on the last. I used Twilight Spider (2, 2, 1) as finisher with no problem.

Sadly, not much exp in this anymore, but it's easy win and some exp at least.

I used Plains Monitor, Cinder Pup, and White Kitten (who survived with 924 health). I don't have any good undead pets at max level yet.

---------------------------------------------------------------------NOTES:1. I use Rematch so my pets are in order for that. Even though a Leveling Pet might go in first, always have pets in the order shown. 2. When I suggested using something on cooldown, or when it’s available, that means to use it when it only has 1 active round left. Don’t wait until it’s off to use it again. 3. Most level pets are brought in and out making no attacks unless stated.

11 ROUNDS in 7.0+, with a leveling pet:

Slithershock Elver (Breed #4 P/P): always use Pump, it's as easy as spamming it until your first pet dies! It takes 2 turns to use Pump, but the animation time is fast. If you have a Purple Puffer (TCG pet), it will do the exact same as the Elver with the highest attack breed. Both of them have 260 speed, matching Stonechewer's speed and beating the other 2. Alternatively, use your highest power pet with Pump and it will probably work just fine, only taking 1-2 more turns. Options: Tiny Blue Carp, Legs, Sea Pony, Fishy, Tiny Goldfish, Eternal Strider (#8 P/S). For 11 rounds, you need the highest possible power and to keep pumping, so that you die along with Stonechewer's Body Slam.

Ghastly Rat (Breed #10 P/B preferred): Rabid Strike > Ghostly Bite ensure a quick finisher to Acidtooth. Use Rabid Strike > Consume (or just Consume) on Stonechewer if your first pet died early. Alternatively, an Infected Squirrel or Stitched Pup with Rabid Strike > Diseased Bite, for example, can still finish safely in not many more rounds.

Leveling pet: can be level 1, swap in and out after your first pet dies. Optional, it's very low XP anyway.

If you don't use the Elver/Puffer or even with the worst RNG (enemy crits/losing random priority versus Stonechewer), you can get a lot out of the rat too, because between its 2 strong attacks, Consume and the undead racial, you'll make it through without wasting time and most of all, never losing frustratingly to RNG.

Ultimately, you'll always win in 11-13 rounds with the optimal pets and breeds! Haven't seen any faster team (most are ~18 rounds or 3 pets).

They nerfed the abilites to some of the battle pets for Legion. So for this pet battle, I have Eternal Strider, Gilnean Raven (if you don't have this one, you need it, great for power lvling pets in Panda land), and Core Hound Pup. I tried leveling a pet through this and just wasn't able to do it. So start out with your strider.

StriderPump, Pump, Pump, Pump, Pump, Pump, Pump, Pump, should be dead, if not use your first ability

Any deviation can throw it off though, that includes lucky crits and a pet dying too soon. And as others have pointed out, the EXP isn't very good so that third pet can be anything you normally use as backup instead of a leveler.

Comment by Kupotek

I don't understand how you're using whirlpool and geyser, when they're both in the same ability category, so at the beginning of the fight you have to choose one or the other, yet you're saying to use both somehow? How is that even possible?

Comment by Kupotek

I beat this using Pandaren Water Spirit, Chrominius, and Clockwork Gnome.

Swarm doesn’t do much damage but it’s something as Pump is really strong but it takes two rounds to deliver.My spider ended the battle with most of her HP as she blinded her enemy, and both atacks heal her.

If you get unlucky with a miss, bring your Strider back in and Water Jet until dead.

Comment by Phelgrahm

I use a Bile Larva (H/H) and Antoran Bile Larva (P/B) to beat these guys (breed is probably not important, though). These Larvae are Beasts that take less damage against Humanoid attacks, plus they have Undead attacks which are strong against Humanoids (Diseased Bite and Plagued Blood). I usually use Acidic Goo over Spikes Skin for the damage boost, but either is probably fine. Easy fight. No need for a third pet.
